Even Cindy Crawford isn’t perfect!

In this world full of stick-thin celebrities and models, I love this picture of Cindy Crawford.

Even Cindy Crawford isn’t perfect!

She is an absolutely beautiful woman who, despite having all the money in the world, has not chosen to have plastic surgery. Just like most of us moms, she still has the stretchy skin that is left behind after being pregnant. She does have a popular skin care line out, but I have never tried it. Have you?

These days it is too easy to photoshop a picture and make it seem like someone has perfect abs, but most women do not.

It’s just skin and no amount of crunches is going to get rid of it!

Yes, I still repeat that to myself several times each day. My body is different after having children, but all that really matters is that I have two four healthy children to show for it.

So the next time you are hating on your post-baby body, repeat after me:

Even Cindy Crawford isn’t perfect!

Forget about the imperfections and celebrate the successes. If you just had a baby and want a good training program, check out Losing the bump. Challenging workouts to help get you back in shape and make you feel energized again.

Go easy on yourself though as having a newborn is no easy job. You probably aren’t sleeping much and your stress level is through the roof. Do what you can and remember to take care of yourself in every possible way. Remember, even Cindy Crawford isn’t perfect!
